Microsoft account hacked on Xbox One

I'm not sure if I'm in the right section to post this but at 8:00 UK time, my Xbox suddenly started to act weird and everything I opened which changed the screens brightness darker. e.g the power off menu/ restart/ do you want to turn off this Xbox. suddenly
were stuck on the screen. I then turned the xbox off by the power button because I was not able to turn the xbox off, and then the when i came back on, my name was Hacked ARK.exe.

I was playing of Ark Survival Evolved at the time of this and I'm not sure if the name has to do anything with it. I was playing on the server PVE-545 if that helps at all.

Microsoft Account Hacked

Here you go buddy, some info! https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12414/microsoft-account-identity-verification-apps-faq

people don't need to change email address when compromised, they need to change password and make sure they have proper security... that includes not using passwords on more than one service, if one service is compromised all those details are sold.

Someone in another country will pop up with it, even if it takes years to happen. My skype password took approximately 4 years from compromise to have someone log in and use it.

This app makes you click approve when logging into websites, and it's instant once you click "accept" the website will load in normal.

Any devices that don't work with the app like xbox 360 will have you go to website once to create a password (it will generate a password that isn't easy) and you use that on those devices to login with your normal user name.

 

Microsoft Account Hacked

Im tired of this hacking shit.

Off topic, everyone needs to watch out for that ransomware shit.


Last year almost 1 billion got paid out. That was a huge jump from 2015 where only 32 million was paid out. With a jump like that Im sure it will grow even more.

 

If you think your account has been compromised you will need to contact support immediately
http://support.xbox.com/. Good Luck!

 

Hey there SoulGold64!

Where there any indications that the account was hacked? Like unauthorized charges on the account or security changes? Before contacting support. I would recommend checking the compromised account wizard.

support.xbox.com/.../compromised-account-solution

Support will ask you the same questions and might ask you to do this for them to report the account and investigate it. Checking your account sign in history as well is needed to make sure that the account is hacked or compromised.
